KTaO3 belongs to the group of incipient ferroelectrics, which are materials important from the fundamental, as well as from the applications, point of view. It is well known in its single-crystal form; however, the processing of technologically interesting ceramics and thin films is a challenging task and knowledge of their …
With emerging need for orthopaedic implants and prolonged exposure of organism to implants also problems connected to elution of metal ions that in some cases cause adverse reactions in the human body, emerge. The main aim of our work was therefore to investigate the potential of silicon carbide (SiC) to …
This work had three aims. In the first part the influences of the sizes of the particles of barium ferrite (BaM) and their magnetic properties on the stability of the suspension were investigated. In second part the deposits were prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EFN) and the influence of particle size, …
This thesis describes an investigation of electrically conductive composites based on Si3N4 with dispersed TiN or ZrN particles fabricated by an in-situ composite method. The influence of the amount of conductive phase of the Si3N4/TiN and Si3N4/ZrN composites on the density, the flexural strength and the electrical conductivity were evaluated. …
The study presents the influence of increasing the amount of β-spodumene (LiAlSi2O6) as Li2O-content flux on phase composition, microstructural evolution and physical properties of high alumina porcelain material containing ~61% of Al2O3. New porcelain compositions based on clays and high amount of calcined alumina were developed with the introduction of …
